It’s rare for this St Helens side to ever lose back-to-back games but Paul Wellens isn’t worried.
Indeed, ahead of Friday’s crucial visit of Hull, he’s found sifting through the mess has proved restorative for his soul. Saints fans could go into meltdown if the newly-crowned World Club champions suffer three defeats on the bounce. But Wellens - just four games into his reign as boss of the four-peat Super League kings - isn’t losing his cool.
After defeats against Leeds and Leigh, he admitted: “We’ve lost a couple of games and it is unusual for us. It doesn’t happen often. But it’s not the end of the world. They are an honest group. We sat down together and went through some vision. Although some of it’s not that nice to watch, it can be strangely therapeutic in terms of looking where you can improve.
